In this video for Pro Tools Expert, Technical Editor James Ivey takes a look at the stunning DirectOut Technologies Andiamo MC, a 32 channel mic and line pre with A/D D/A conversion to MADI. This is a truly special sounding unit. One of the best sounding pres James has ever tried and as the team's resident gear junkie he has tried plenty. It sounds so good James awards the Andiamo MC Editors Choice.

James shows you around the unit and it's Mac & Windows compatible control panel software. The Andiamo MC is a simple unit to set up. The front panel at first could appear complicated but once you take the time to study it, the unit is easy to read and the audio results are nothing short of stunning.

Take a watch and listen to find out more about this 2U rack that James has totally fallen for. Sadly this level of quality comes at a price, but if you are in the market for a seriously high-end bit of kit, look no further.
